- My grand father was visiting his cousins some years ago. They were telling ghost stories around the fire when suddenly one of them said "did you ever see the dead coach." We will go out now and see it. It passes through the field at the back of the house every night about eight o' clock. They all went out and they heard some noise in the distance. As it came nearer it got bright and they nearer it came the brighter it got and the more noise it made. Some of the company began to get afraid and one by one they disappeared. To of them agreed to wait and see what is really was but as it drew near the noise was so terrible and the light so dazzling that they lost courage and went in. They never went out again to watch it but it was believed to pass every night at the same time.(continues on next page)
